agubrizbassman Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I don't know about you guys, i think it will be not that bad of an idea, i know a lot want to see these stories written by Neil come to life, but it would take a lot of effort to do them, what do you guys think...

puffyshirt Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Clockwork, not a chance. It's a pretty boring story. 2112 might at least be interesting, but it isn't really new or fresh a story. So no, not really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatLightInYourEyes Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I'd definitely see it, even if the reviews are horrible. In fact, the worse they are, the more I would probably enjoy them. Maybe not in the theater, though, as I was already in a theater full of angry Rush fans on Monday and I don't want to repeat the experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I think Clockwork Angels could make an excellent big budget anime, in the vein of Laputa Castle In The Sky with the budget of Steamboy. I think 2112 could have been an amazing eighties sci-fi flick. I think in the hands of Ridley Scott, with Harrison Ford as the hero we could have had a major cult classic on our hands! Oh, how I would love that! With the darkness of Blade Runner and the visual inventiveness of Legend it could have been breathtaking. What a loss...the temple priests would make wonderful movie villains. The Cygnus songs could have been wonderful Star Trek style tv shows...and the Fear series could have been used as a basis for an interesting set of short movies portraying each element. Witch Hunt and Freeze would both fascinate me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Clockwork Angels? Not a chance. 2112, if written and expanded by someone GOOD, then yeah most certainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) There was already a 30 minute or so animated film made in '85 called 'The Body Electric' which featured music from the band. It was sooooo popular and beloved that most Rush fans don't know of its existence and almost nobody has a copy. If there ever was a film [that's not a documentary] made, I'd want a semi-biographical one depicting their lives from '70/'71 up to the release of 2112. I'm imagining something along the lines of Almost Famous MINUS the groupies and traveling writer sidekick angle. Imagine the bands they toured with. Imagine (or remember) the decade itself. There's a story there that's much more interesting than Clockwork Angels or 2112. Edited November 23, 2013 by JohnnyBlaze 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushBoingo Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I would watch both, but I think I would be more interested in a Cygnus X-1 Film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it's not on a live dvd from that era due to actual rights of that film. Just because it's Rush-connected doesn't mean it's Rush-owned. If I made a Rush film/comic/book/whatever, that doesn't mean the band can slap it on anything official of theirs without some effort. Besides, MAYBE the band doesn't really like that film soooooo they've distanced themselves from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushBoingo Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 It was neat seeing that Body Electric video. Especially being Canadian as I practically grew up with that art style in the late 90s (mostly during Christmas specials). The only thing I could not stop focusing on though was how they seemed to predict the fashion of the 90s, in the 80s, in Canada. Is that weird to anyone else? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slack jaw gaze Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 No, but I would watch a Clockwork Angels sitcom if Jerry Stiller was in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty bad. As for 2112 or CA....I don't think 2112 would be all that great but you could do something with CA....Not sure whether either could be worth seeing though.

The Analog Grownup Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 If somebody made them I would watch it. Wether I would like it or not I do not know The cartoon shows that there is some serious potential in the 2112 story line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyfriar Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Somebody should do a Clockwork Angels movie and call it Episode 2113. In a few years they could release Episode 2112 - The Beginning. They have plenty of numbers left for the possible 2111 continuations. I smell cash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangster of Goats Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Clockwork Angels wouldn't be good as a movie... it's not a really cinematic plot; it's just a guy who does a bunch of different things and ends up reflecting on his life when he got older. No real climax. 2112 would be better, but it would need some fleshing out... and de-emphasize the whole finding the guitar thing, it just reeks too much of '70s-80s rock'n'roll fantasy schtick. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was printed, bound and loved by all as a poduct of the nineties and I will tell you now that the scene where he discovers the guitar would rock my world! I love it! Bring on the cheese... I really wish 2112 could have heen made in the 80's. So much cheese from that decade...I would love it! Sort of like a blend of Blade Runner and The Dark Crystal meets Flash Gordon with a Dune style soundtrack. Only with Rush and not my beloved cheese balls Toto doing it. Gotta love me some cheese.
